That means we should all buy I Phones and spend a huge chunk of our lives "exploring" all these Apps?

Then again, the other day I was waiting for my Chinese food and some dick was listening to a LOUD rap video on his phone- no earplugs, of course- and every other person waiting for their order was looking at their phones, too.
